Secret royal code names revealed

“Could you bring the car round for David and Davina?”. Secret code names for Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge used by aides and bodyguards have been revealed.

It has been revealed that members of the Royal family are regularly given alternative monikers –secret code names to prevent their contact details from falling into the wrong hands. Thus Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are known as plain ‘David Stevens’ and ‘Davina Scott’, while Prince William and Kate Middleton are named as ‘Danny Collins’ and ‘Daphne Clark’ in their aides’ contact lists.

The initials ‘DC’/ ‘DS’ in the secret code names allude, of course, to the royal couple’s title – the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Duke and Duchess of Sussex, reports the Daily Star.

“If anyone got hold of a phone belonging to a royal aide or security team member, they won’t find Harry Windsor and Meghan’s names in it,” said a royal source, adding, “it is far too risky in the wrong hands. They get given code names but they are changed regularly for obvious reasons.”

The code names were revealed at an event when one of Harry’s aides told a worker that someone was trying to contact him.
